One example of a written form of defamation is libel. Libel refers to false statements that are published or written with the intent to harm someone's reputation. This can include defamatory statements made in newspapers, magazines, books, online articles, blog posts, social media posts, or any other form of written communication that can be distributed to others. Unlike spoken defamation (slander), which is typically transient and experienced in the moment, libel has a more lasting and potentially widespread impact.
